[comp.windows.x.motif] xterm menus under mwm?

colin@nbc1.nbc1.ge.com (Colin Rafferty) (10/10/90)

Hi-

I have just installed mwm, and I noticed that when I'm using mwm, the
xterm menus shrink down to little boxes, while the font stays the
same, so I can't choose anything because the options are not showing.
Has anyone had this problem?

I'm on a Sun 4/110 running 4.1 Unix with Motif 1.1 under R4 and
patches 1-18 installed.

Thanks for any help.

	This is not a Mwm bug.  It sounds like you have not installed the
	R4 Xterm app-defaults file.  The size of the R4 xterm menu defaults to
	too small.  The R4 app-defaults file fixes this.
